5 Months Until Christmas
Greetings, friends! Today we mark 5 months until Christmas – and yet another great day during Christmas in July. As maybe you can tell from our chats this Christmas-in-July thing means a little down time for us. But there still remains a lot of work going forward on Operation Merry Christmas. I’d like to update […]
6 Months Until Christmas
Happy Leon Day! It is officially six months until Christmas. Leon Day is quite the event at the North Pole. While there are not many organized festivities this year everyone is in the spirit. Leon, of course, is Noel spelled backwards. That gives the whole day a kind of backwards theme. Some elves wear their […]
7 Months Until Christmas
There are now just 7 months until Christmas and there are big signs the season is, believe it or not, drawing closer.

We want to answer some of those questions. Snow is on the minds of many because it is winter, and apparently […]

There are 11 months until Christmas, friends. Can you believe we are already a full month into the New Year? Well, a full month for us. 11 months from today we’ll be tracking Santa again. The North Pole is just a big machine that keeps on rolling. We never stop. Just last week North Pole […]
The North Pole Welcomes Santa Home

/
The North Pole is excited to welcome Santa home after yet another successful ride. This year Santa rode a 50-year-old vintage sleigh around the world in near-record time.
